Mike is not a fussy eater when it comes to most things, but there is one thing that he will not eat and that is shrimp. The bad thing is that I love the stuff. He has been traveling for work of late, so I have been making a few shrimp dishes for our son Adam (who loves shrimp too) and myself.
Until lately I had never really cooked with raw shrimp, so it has been a fun new experience. Last week when Mike was traveling I took a bag out of the freezer and started looking for a shrimp dish to make. I wanted make pasta with the shrimp, since it is something I have never made before.
When I found the Italian shrimp pasta recipe it sounded perfect. I actually made half of a recipe since the recipe suggested that it was 4 servings. Adam and I loved it. It actually made more than 2 servings, but Adam took the rest for lunch the next day, so it worked out perfect. If you like spaghetti and you like shrimp you will love this dish.
